Electromagnetic Waves

Question:

A. The wavelength of microwaves is greater than that of UV-rays.

B. The wavelength of IR rays is lesser than that of UV-rays.

C. The wavelength of microwaves is lesser than that of IR-rays.

D. Gamma rays have shortest wavelength in the Electromagnetic Spectrum.

Of the above statements

Options:

A and B are true

B and C are true

C and D are true

A and D are true

Correct Answer:

A and D are true

Explanation:

The wavelength order of the given types of waves are given below

Waves Wavelength Range (in meter)

Gamma rays IR-rays   10−14 −10−10

IR-rays                       7 × 10−7 = 10−3

UV-rays                     10−9 − 4 × 10−7  

Microwave                 10−4 − 100      

Hence, statements (A) and (D) are correct.
